Many
of us are Etsy sellers and purchasers.
Etsy is bringing a group of sellers to Washington, DC this week, to ask members of
Congress to join the newly formed Microbusiness Caucus, which will fight
for the interests of Etsy sellers on everything from Internet sales tax to
portable benefits. Let’s ask our
legislators to join this new group:

Here’s
another pipeline issue and we have a say.
Embridge Line 5, which
carries fuel fromwestern Canada to eastern Canada via theGreat Lakesstates including going under the
Great Lakes and the Mackinac Bridge, is well past its intended
lifespan and needs to be shut down.

U.S. Forest Service is accepting comments regarding the permitting of Line
5 through an 11.5-mile section of the Chequamegon-Nicolet Forest in
Bayfield County, Wisconsin. Line 5 could, potentially, cease operations
and be decommissioned if the permit allowing an easement through this area
is not renewed. Email: comments-eastern-chequamegon-nicolet-washburn@fs.fed.us(also cc emails to: jdmcneill@fs.fed.us, katkinson@fs.fed.us, mdavalos@fs.fed.us) or snail mail: USFS

In
another party before country move, the House Ways & Means Committee
Republicans voted against H.Res.186
to request Trump’s tax returns so it will not advance to the House for a
vote. Let’s register our
vote with those Republican committee members: https://waysandmeans.house.gov/subcommittee/full-committee/ Transparency is much needed in this
administration.

Let’s
all keep calling all of our legislators asking for an independent
investigation into the growing Trump/Russia connection. Until this fiasco
can be straightened out and made clear, nothing good can come from this
administration.
